Re: [wdvltalk] OT: I've an unrecognised drive with Windows XP
Did you install XP over 2K? Sometimes older drivers remain setup for the old OS even when trying to reinstall them on the new OS - the best way I have found is to install the new OS on a clean drive and install the hardware from that point. Usualliy that works just great for me - of course it is an MS OS so the little gremlins will do what they can to disrupt operations and end all life as we know it. also - have you tried re-installing the USB Hub driver or updating it?

re:[wdvltalk] OT: I've an unrecognised drive with Windows XP
As I believe Joseph has mentioned earlier, it may simply be a matter of installation order. Almost all USB hardware I've installed recently is adamant about installing the software/drivers _first_, then plugging in the device. If the device was plugged in when you ran the XP upgrade, or while installing the drivers, it may not be recognized (HP and Lexmark All-In-One printers are notorious for this). Try physically disconnecting the device, then go into Add/Remove and remove any software which might have been installed, then go into Device Manager and remove the device itself from the list. Reboot, then install the software from the media, or copy the install to your HD and install from there. Then (I had to do this to get a JumpDrive recognized) shut down the system, plug in the reader, and restart the system. If all goes well XP should recognize the drive on startup and show a dialog saying Installing software for your new hardware.

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: I've an unrecognised drive with Windows XP
M. That's a thought Galatek Webmaster - but now I have over half my software reinstalled I don't feel inclined to go back to square one yet again! I may have to of course if I run into any more problems. Seattle Gremlins certainly do get into these things. Isn't it a pity Bill and Co. don't spend a year or two fixing all these bugs instead of constantly adding unwanted extra features that 90% of us probably never find and wouldn't know what to do with if we did? Then of course they stop supporting systems after some years. I wasn't planning to go to XP but found when I re-loaded W2000 from my original CD that the service packs are no longer available! That's what forced my hand - and bled $270 from my bank account for the upgrade pack! Anyway, since putting out my cry for help I've tried connecting the camera direct and that works fine so at least I can take the pics off the card and clean it for re-use. As for reloading the USB Hub driver - there isn't one. I'm connecting via the built-in ports on my motherboard - I've got four rear and two front so plenty to choose from! (None works for this though - I've even swapped around peripherals that are working so I know I am using a live port and still nothing! Thanks to all for suggestions - I'll keep tinkering around until I find the problem but at today's prices it may be cheaper to just buy a new one!

Thanks - I'll try that later in the week - at the moment I'm still catching up on client work delayed due to the system changeover.

[wdvltalk] Most Popular Counter
I am looking to track hits to each venue page on my site, and I'm wondering what suggestions you might have for doing this. Programming specs are ASP, using SQL Server 2000. The idea is this: when someone visits a venue's page, the venue receives a hit. This cheap counter will then be displayed on each of the pages, such as Total visits: 919. Simple. However, the reason I want to do this is so that I can have an option on the search page for Most Visited (or Most Popular). This would then take the top 10 and display them back. Things to consider... I don't want someone refreshing the page to increase the hits, but I do want their visit to count if they come back a day later, for instance. So the thought of a cookie that expires came to mind. However, there is a chance that someone will arrive to a particular venue's page directly, via a send to friend link. So they might not get that cookie from another part of the website. Does anyone have any suggestions on this, or any links that might give some suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Quoting Todd Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Things to consider...

However, there is a chance that someone will arrive to a particular venue's page directly, via a send to friend link. So they might not get that cookie from another part of the website. As each visitor should have a unique SessionID, I would build something that counted a SessionID-URL as a single hit. That would eliminate refreshes and allow for the same user returning later. I avoid 'real' cookies whenever I can.
